Yeah it's rare.. most atheists are somewhere along the agnostic scale.. claiming to 'believe' nothing. It all depends on how you define it though. I've said here before: I think a conviction like Christians have, for example, entitles you to state that you are certain. Then it works the other way, what theists call certainty is also unknowable, making them agnostic too. Common sense to me 'tho suggests the extreme position is tenable. Worst for you is the accusation from theists that you need as much faith as they do to positively disbelieve. Sorry to waffle on - we should take this to a thread Wink

Not so rare actually... some beings truly cannot exist. Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

How do threads work? do they expire after a while? does the creator have to end it? or does a moderator/admin have to end it?

Why thank you, that's just how I am. I assume you are the same way?

Also, I was on youtube one day and made a ranting comment (as I do alot). And they replied: "The atheist does however have the view that the universe and life just happened naturaly yet I have seen no proof what so ever that this is correct. You claim that science is above anything else but in order to hold your view the athiest must throw out mathematical probability and the law of thermodynamics which is one on the pillars on which science stands. "

Why would I have to throw probablility out and the law of thermodynamics?

You have more questions that MaCaulay Culkin! Big Grin

You just respond if you have something to say. Threads naturally expire, but aren't closed without good reason. You can comment on old threads although they do warn you to be sure you wish to do so. Only staff can close threads.

Yeah, talking is good Wink

How is the star system held on forums? such as ***? are they solely based on posts? or does reputation have to do with it?

Also, what is the warning 0% on my posts and user CP mean?


Thanks for being awesome!
